I have beef with the show Fringe, not bc I dislike it or anything like that (I haven't watched any of it and the plot summary I've seen online actually sounds pretty good) but bc there's a book series I really like that's called The Fringe but it's apparently like completely unknown bc every time I try to find anything about the book series I just get results about the Fringe show

[calmdowndrinksometea]

NO, THATS NOT WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY

How fast smut has inflitrated books, mostly bestsellers aimed at young girls and young adults is very concerning. Back in the day it was mostly just to be found in fanfics and doujinshis and stuff like that and frowned upon by the public.

Now the consens has shifted to being completely fine with hardcore stuff put in fantasy books and the like with no warning whatsoever on the covers. This is absolutely irresponsible from the publishers.

I don't wanna name names, but it's definitely the fault of booktok and how smut has infiltrated any form of mainstream media.

Booktok was a mistake.

Where is the fucking lie. That shit was just starting to appear in YA books when I was that age, but it’s nowhere near as bad as it is now. And yes I will fucking clutch my pearls over this, we’re in the middle of a fucking porn addiction epidemic.

Like, have we learned nothing from the great social experiment of hooking our boys on pornography from the time they’re old enough to see the top of the magazine shelf? Do we really want to fuck up the next generation of women’s understanding of sex and relationships too??

Look, to any teenage girl or young woman reading my blog: ditch pornography and erotica. I’m truly not trying to shame you here, it’s not your fault you’re addicted to it because they’ve basically shoved it down all our throats. But that shit is fucking dangerous to your mental health and your relationships. Quit cold turkey as soon as possible, even if it means reaching out and getting help. Your future self will thank you.

"New Yorkers bite more people than sharks annually" is an excellent example of how statistics can be misleading. Like yeah no shit, do you have any idea how rare it is to even encounter a shark in the wild? They're not exactly urban animals. I'm pretty damn sure that if sharks were living in big cities like pigeons, just strolling down the streets looking for food scraps, you'd see a lot more news stories about New Yorkers biting them.

Imagine you and your best friend were two grains of sand and you had to be in the hourglass and your bestie had to be the glass. Ur together but youve never been more apart. A Sick and twisted practice hourglassery is...

are you ever about to put on a movie but you realize you don't really want to watch The Movie, you want to be eight years old on a rainy saturday, and under your favorite butterfly blanket, and mom made hot chocolate and popcorn with extra butter, and you're watching The Movie for the first time ever? what are you supposed to do then

[podcastwizard]

I'm still salty about them changing his design after the first movie.

EDIT: Since people keep saying the changes are subtle/not really there, I'm putting this in the main post.

[christian-zelda]

That too. Good addition.

PSA TO ALL READERS while wandering around a mall today I was ensnared by a powerful force that bade me enter a place called Barnes & Noble. in a daze I wandered the displays and was compelled to even pick up several books that this force attempted to foist upon me at great personal cost to myself. it was only through great strength of will that I was able to fight off this befouling force by withdrawing my cellular device from my pocket and logging into my library account to place requests for the same books at no cost that i was able to escape without grievous harm. truly it's crazy out there, stay safe and remember that libraries are always there to provide aid as you fight against such forces of darkness

"tumblr's the only social media without algorithms!" "you can still be anonymous on tumblr!" "tumblr's so nice because you don't have to show your face!" WRONG tumblr is special because you can have 3000 followers and still get an average of seven likes a post. i'm doing stand up comedy at a packed venue and one person is laughing
